Ingredients

• 3 large chicken breasts, butterflied and cut in half to make 6 thinner cutlets (or use 6 smaller chicken breasts)
• 3 tablespoons avocado or olive oil
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. In small saucepan or skillet, melt butter over medium heat.  Add oil and garlic, and saute briefly for 1-2 minutes until garlic is fragrant.
2. Add brown sugar and thyme and cook for 1 more minute, then remove from heat.
3. Place chicken breasts in baking dish or aluminum pan.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
4. Spoon brown sugar garlic sauce over chicken breasts.
5. Freeze for later use, or proceed to cooking instructions.

To freeze:

1. Cover dish tightly, label, date, and freeze.

To cook:

1. Remove chicken from freezer and allow to thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Bake chicken for 20 minutes, until cooked through.
4. Optional step: If desired, at end of baking, sprinkle small amount of additional brown sugar on tops of chicken and bake for 2-3 more minutes or carefully broil for a more carmelized sauce. (But be very careful because these ingredients will burn VERY quickly, especially under a broiler, so don't even think about stepping away from the oven while broiling.)
